I bought a disc brake. I never paid import tax as we are in the EU. I think that's correct.
I think i may have paid German tax but it was part of the cost. If i remember correctly.
It was good service.

You pay German VAT (19% I think) and that's it. One of the advantages of being in the EU.

Which probably doesn't outweigh the disadvantages. 8-)

It's cheaper to get it sent from Germany than from London.
